    The 'deposit' idea seems good when you first think about it, but wouldn't it all just sit at the bottom? Unless you just walked around randomly jumping...

    Remember never judge someone that makes a mistake, because in six months time it may be you that makes the next mistake.

    Are you using first morning urine for the digi opks? I think you might get a better result later in the day.

    I would just use the monitor if I were you, or the opks, especially if you are managing to BD regularly as that means you won't miss the window of opportunity! I sometimes find the more I try to pinpoint ovulation the more stressful it becomes and I spend so long reading lines on OPKs and staring at charts that I forget to have sex :rotfl:

    RazWaz, hope you have a good holiday - where are you off to?

    Definitely blonde, sorry to hear your OH is unwell, I hope the hospital can help and he gets better soon.

    On the subject of a mooncup, I've never tried it, but it would save a lot of money! I too would worry about the mess especially when going to wash my hands but guess you could wipe with toilet roll before leaving the cubicle?

    Still waiting for AF here.

    I've done 3 digi's far - yesterday morning, yesterday evening and this morning. All were negative.

    My cbfm and digi's have always conincided before, so I just don't get why one says yes now, but the other says no. I'm also (apparently) 10 days early for ovulation which is more than a third of my cycle! Monitor went from low to peak in less than 24 hours. Confuzzled!

    As you say, it wouldn't normally be an issue as we BD a lot but OH broke a rib last night playing football (i have no sympathy, it was his own fault) so is feeling delicate today!

    Lily - Hurray for no signs of AF yet! Fingers crossed?

    That's what I used to do, never had any problems at work etc. I love using my mooncup, so much more comfortable than tampons, and clean feeling than towels.

    That all sounds confusing! Maybe just BD anyway? :D And just be gentle with your OH!

    Not too hopeful as did a test on Saturday just on the off-chance but a BFN.
